Hi Alvin,

  OK, here are my choices and reasons:
  1. Nxh5, gains a Pawn, but places a Knight on the rim.
  * there is no pawn at h5, maybe you did not reset correctly after a test move?

  2. Nxf7+ gains a Pawn and forks the King, in check, with a Queen and a Rook. 
Capture the Queen and lose the Night, still ahead by 7 points and remove a 
major piece from the board.
  * After 1. Nxf7 black takes the Knight 1... Bxf7 foiling your fork.

  3. Trade Knights with: Nxc6 .
  # there is something better.
  Hint: White can force mate in two moves.  Does anyone else have an idea?

  Richard
